F(x)=A (x-a) (x-b)^2 (x-c)

A=5

Polynomial

A polynomial is a term that we use for an algebraic expression that use more than one term, as
a+b, a-x+y, x^3+x^2+x-6.

Rational Functions

These functions can be used to establish a relationship between the concentration of a substance
in a medicine and the time of administration. When you take a medicine, it takes time to take
effect and when it reaches all the concentration, gradually loses the effect over time. So, you can
apply these functions to calculate the time of the medicine to reach the maximum concentration,
and the time that the effect lasts. This can be expressed with the following formulation:

C(t)=4t/t^2+1

This means that concentration is in function with the time and its equal to four times the time
divided into the time squared plus one. In this way we can determinate de comportment of the
medicine through the time. In this case the concentration is 2 mg/l, so if we want to know how
much time we need to reach the maximum concentration, we only need to replace c(t) by the
2mg/l. The time its represented in hours.

2=4t/t^2+1

t^2+1=4t/2

t^2+1=2t

t^2-2t+1=0

t-2t+1=0

(t-1)^2
t-1=0

t=1

Trigonometric Functions

This is the branch of mathematics to study the relationship between the sides and angles
of triangles. In trigonometry we can use one or more of these elements to calculate so
many characteristics of triangles, as the area, perimeter, other sides or angles.
One of the most important concepts to understand the trigonometry are angles, because
it’s a measure of the opening between two lines with the same vertex, as a triangle
inscribed in a circle.
To calculate the angle, we can use two measures or systems, degrees and radians. In
degrees we can think in the totality of the circle as 360°, but in radians this represents 2π
rad. So, if a straight line makes a complete revolution inside a circle it will represent the 2π
rad.
F(x)= a sin[b(x-h)]+k

f(x) = a sen b(x- h) + c

In this function a and b represents positive constants inside the graphic, the a a vertical
expansion or contraction depending if a>1 or 0<b<1, and the b the horizontal expansion if
0<b<1 and contraction if b>1.
